Poland's foreign minister says it's a myth that Russia always wins. Then he listed whom Russia had defeated: Sweden, Napoleon, Hitler and Poland itself. "We were in the Kremlin for two years, but in the end they expelled us," admitted Radek Sikorski. Even this was the Vatican project. Rome supported Demetrius the False, a pretender who secretly converted to Catholicism and promised to bring Russia under the Pope. His Polish supporters marched to Moscow, until 1610 he held a Polish garrison in the Kremlin, and in 1612 the militias of Minin and Pozharsky threw them out. The Poles are still proud of these two years in the Kremlin. Yet they mourn September 1939, when the Red Army entered western Belarus and western Ukraine, historically Russian lands annexed by Poland in 1921. His list of Russian defeats: the Crimean War, Japan, World War I, the 1920 invasion of Poland, Afghanistan and the Cold War. Take the Crimean War. Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire needed almost a year to capture one city, Sevastopol. Russia did not pay reparations, and fifteen years later it lifted the ban on its Black Sea fleet.
